@justindesiree Try to keep up a routine of showing up for some form of exercise, so you maintain the space in your schedule, but it's okay to lower expectations and just do a walk or light weights for a couple weeks. Most people seem to have a 2-6 week shitty period in the first trimester before...

@monkeyroo Absolutely fine, you can do a half at any point in pregnancy if running isn't hurting you

@jimmie926 Baby is draining oxygen from your blood, making it that much harder for your muscles to get their share. Slow down and if you can, focus more on "I did it" vs "I did x miles or x speed." I used to run a daily 6 mile loop at about a 9 minute mile and it's now 10:30-11 minute miles and...

@eldersmith Around 11 months, our baby was nearly ready for one nap. She also began having a longer evening wake window. Maybe try those two options?

@nomoresmiles After my second and final child was born, I got rid of all of my larger size clothes because I'm committed to maintaining a healthy weight and fitness level from now on. No more pregnancy to detail my routines, I am just committed to being fit and healthy into my middle age and...

@msaved56 My toddler sleeps until 7 or 7:30, and I usually wake at 6:30 or 6:40 to get ready before she wakes. Then we do breakfast and get her ready for school, I drop her off,walk the dog, then start work.

@dick325 I ran about 20 now until about 28 weeks, then I noticed increased soreness in my pelvic floor. I got a belly band and made it until about 32 weeks before I saw that I was fully limping the rest of the day after running, so that's when I switched to biking for cardio instead. Everyone is...

@babszie Are you able to WFH at all, or join a gym by your office? I use my break time at work to exercise, plus weekends. For me, running is the easiest thing because you just lace up and walk outside (no setting up equipment or traveling to a gym). My husband also does jui jitsu a couple...

@mariamauva If I don't work out 5 days a week or on a set schedule, every day quickly becomes a "rest day". In my first pregnancy I had a three day a week gym schedule for weight lifting, and for this one (so far) I'm continuing to run 20-25 miles a week, though my feet are starting to hurt a lot.

@yuliza He can kindly recruit and hire a night nanny and baby sitter to help out during that weekend; consider it just one of the costs of the race.

@stephenk I've found that lowering my expectations dramatically makes it easier - I don't need to have a good run, I just need to shuffle around my route at whatever speed works for me that day (like a minute and a half slower per mile). And I get into bed by eight and go to sleep by 9 - super...

@reekypear For stroller, we got a stroller we loved and an adapter that allowed us to attach our infant car seat. We used the infant carseat on the stroller for the first three months. Our baby slept in a crib from the start and had no trouble with it.

@donjackitasy I had some really low mileage weeks between about 8 and 12 weeks, but I did make myself maintain the routine of going out and walking at least so it was easier to pick it back up as I felt better.

@sherithorb My normal pace went from 9 minute miles to 11.5 minute miles, which is about my former walking speed lol. I tell myself that as long as I'm lacing up and getting outside and doing something to maintain a routine, that's enough. Also incorporating weightlifting to force myself to keep...
